# Inline Functions

Functions to be used in measure section variable.

**Requirement:** Rainmeter 4.1 or later.

**Syntax of inline functions:**

{% code title="" %}

```
[&Measure:Function(parameter, parameter, ...)]
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Comma is used for separating inline function parameters. If your script or string have comma , draps them inside double quotes.
{% endhint %}

 `DynamicVariables = 1` MUST be set on any measures or meters where inline function is used.

**Example usage:**

{% code title="" %}

```php
[Psrm]
Measure = Plugin
Plugin = PowershellRM
Line = function Nuzzle($num) { return "Rawr x$($num)!" }
Line2 = $weedNumber = 420

[TextMeter]
Meter = String
Text = [&Psrm:Invoke(Nuzzle 3)]
W = [&Psrm:Variable(weedNumber)]
SolidColor = 000000
FontColor = FFFFFF
FontSize = 30
DynamicVariables = 1
```

{% endcode %}
